As I have said many times, including in this video, this is a long-term trading strategy. Yes, the risk engine is in play to protect all parties, however, it lowers risk according to the strategy and how risky it is deemed to be.

so, after paying 38 euro for a Darwinex account, and paying the fee for this feature, what do we get? I mean should we deposit our own funds and achieve the 20% in our own investment? or will they provide us with a demo account, wherein we need to complete that target? I hope you understand my question, on what capital are we supposed to meet that target? forgive me if it's a stupid question, but I don't understand how Darwinex works..
You pay the normal monthly fee, and select the permanent funding option you want. In order to get the funding you need to hit, let's say 15% if that's what you selected. Once you do, the permanent funded account is yours forever
No, Once you receive your permanent allocation, it's yours forever. Any profits you make on it are yours, as a performance fee. It's not an on-going profit target. It's a once-off goal
Yes, the Darwinex Zero Risk Engine applies to permanent allocations. The Risk Engine manages the risk of DARWINs independently of the risk taken by the trader, ensuring that the target risk level is maintained. This means that even with a permanent allocation, the Risk Engine will adjust trades to keep the DARWIN's risk within the specified limits
The permanent allocation in Darwinex Zero is a feature that allows traders to receive a non-expiring allocation of 100,000 EUR if they reach a selected target return from the moment of purchasing the feature. Here's a simplified explanation: Purchase the Feature: You can buy the permanent allocation feature once your DARWIN is created and meets certain conditions. Select a Target Return: Choose a target return you aim to achieve with your DARWIN. The options are 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%. The higher the target return, the lower the cost of the service. Achieve the Target: If your DARWIN reaches the selected target return from the purchasing point, you receive the permanent allocation. No Expiry: Once received, the permanent allocation does not expire, and there are no ongoing requirements to maintain it. Performance Fees: You earn performance fees based on the profit obtained with the allocation, calculated and paid every three months using a high-water mark method. This feature is designed to incentivize traders to achieve consistent returns and manage capital effectively.

No, not stupid at all. The target to be reached is done so using the funds allocated to you, after paying the subscription. You don't trade your own funds.
Yes, under certain conditions. 1. Your grid system can't be too risky, otherwise the risk engine will decrease the risk and subsequently potential profits. 2. Your strategy or EA should be different enough to others that you don't get correlated. 3. Your profits should be higher than the monthly fee 4. You reach at least Silver status where you can request payout 5. Remember, payout can be requested every quarter, not monthly.
It's really difficult to say. We've had very good results with the Grid Machine, but it's in a large drawdown now, so we'll have to see if it recovers. We're testing a number of Prop Firm Robot App combinations at the moment, so we'll see how those go.
You're better off with Prop firms if you make 5% on a 100k account you only get to keep 750 if you made 5% on a prop firm account you would keep 4,000. It's a no brainer for me.
@brightakudu I've been trading for 5 years I've been paid out many times on FTMO. So put all the laughing emojis you want you obviously can't trade very well so why would you pay a monthly subscription to trade on an account you only keep 15% of your winnings? You would be better off just doing 10k challenges and build your consistency up doing that then overtime do a bigger challenge when you are more confident. It's the quickest way to get your own personal account then you don't have to worry about anyone.
@Samw8484, I am genuinely happy to hear your FTMO journey has been positive. You're one of the very few I've heard this from. The reality of the situation is that no prop firm anywhere is regulated, and as such, there is always a risk.

Not exactly. The performance fee you get is 15%, which is actually 75% of the profits. Remember, the investor gets 80%, because he's taking the risk. Of the remaining 20%, you get 15%, which is 75%. It's not a prop firm. It may not seem like a lot, but long term, it's a solid and profitable approach.

What “Permanent Funding” Means: "Permanent funding" in Darwinex Zero means that once you qualify for a funded account, you keep the right to have that funded account. It doesn’t mean that the money in the account is automatically refilled if you lose it all. How It Works: Initial Funding: When you qualify for permanent funding, Darwinex Zero gives you an initial amount to trade with. Losing the Balance: If you lose all of this initial money, your account balance will be zero, but you still own the funded account. It’s still considered a funded account because you met the criteria to get it, and Darwinex Zero doesn’t take away that status. No Automatic Refill: However, they don’t replenish the money if it goes to zero. So, if you want to keep trading, you’d need to add funds yourself to rebuild your balance. Why It’s Called Permanent Funding: It’s called “permanent” because: You don’t have to meet new requirements to keep the account after qualifying. You have the right to keep this funded account status even if you lose all the initial money. In simple terms, permanent funding means you keep the funded account status, but not necessarily the money if you lose it.
What's the point to have the permanent allocation without any balance on the account. And if you refill your account, it's mentioned on their website that you lose your access to the permanent allocation.
